Hey guys, not sure if you guys are aware of this, but the Yankees and Red Sox are playing tonight. I know that word might not have gotten around yet about this game, but they are playing a baseball game tonight and I think it might be on TV.

Just thought I'd let you guys know. It is against the law to not watch.
















(No offense to the BoSox fans on this board....but it's already too sickening for me. The Chicago-Cleveland series is bigger right now.)

1 - the Indians are better than I gave them credit for in our early-season discussions
2 - this is not a "who is better" argument of AL Central against AL East

but the yankees/red sox is a bigger deal. they are bigger stars, and most people would agree that the yankees and red sox have a better chance of winning the world series than the white sox or indians. the white sox may have the best chance, but the indians have the worst. not the worst team in there, just probably the worst chance to win, in large part because they won't spend $50 million at the deadline if need be.

more importantly, there is a serious world series contender playing tonight, and troy glaus just gave us a 3-run lead

:smiley:

Thank you for the thread. This may be the biggest game of the year here, folks.. It's make or break time.. Sorry but to be honest I'm tired of seeing Cleveland and Boston on espn/2.. It's so boring. Put the Royals on or something .

Also, there no point in watching BBTN tonight because it's all going to be about NY-BOS and Roger Clemens. WOO

favre made up his mind, so i say if clemens doesn't make an announcement and then shut up in one week, we just break his legs.

They are predicting that he takes a whole month to decide what he's going to do.. Hurray, we get to see day-to-day progress on how that goes..

Come on dude, no need to be bitter.

will you stop bitching about this? this is a real rivalry, and this was a game that was worth puting on tv. damon returned to fenway tonite, and its the first sox yanks game of the year.

i dont complain when dodgers-giants or cubs-cards is on. why are you bitching about this?

Heh...I do feel a little bad that the rest of the country has to deal with this, but the fact remains that it is a big deal and anytime these teams play like seven states grind to a halt.

It was a great game though...back and forth, return of Mirabelli, Damon, and Myers, great defense, crazy wind, huge homerun by Papi. At least it wasn't a 15-3 suckfest.

forgot about BARRY BONDS, how silly of me

I don't mind it being on TV some.....but it is the ENTIRE FOCUS OF EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT THEY PLAY.

Seriously, if the Royals were on ESPN and took up most of every Sportscenter and Baseball Tonight and radio show and everything else every single time they played the Tigers every year....trust me, you'd get sick of it too.

Also, you'll notice I said I wasn't insulting any particular teams or their fans..just ESPN for shoving it down everyone's throat.




I understand that the Yanks/Sox have "bigger stars," and that they are going to be on TV, but they don't need to be shoved down our throat NEARLY as much as they are.

Also.....just because a team spends $50 million at the deadline doesn't mean the Yanks or Sox have a better chance to win......the Indians have the BEST chance of ANY of those teams to win the World Series...just watch...their pitching is just going to keep on getting better all year...and they will be able to work some deals come the trading deadline as well...the Yanks aren't going to be able to do enough to make their pitching staff "good," this year...they have a TON of question marks in terms of pitching..and they have a lot of old guys who are going to break down as the season wears on...they have the worst chance to win the World Series.
